“The ship itself is a bit empty and lacks weapons for its orcs, but still we have to consider the reasonably low price that makes up for a lot! Also we get a bunch of minifigs, including a troll and a (so far unique) green dragon.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“This 2008 LEGO Castle set, "The Troll Warship" (7048), offers an exciting building experience with 493 pieces and a host of impressive features. The 51cm-long and 34cm-tall ship showcases detailed design elements like a functioning cannon, intricate troll-themed decorations, and even a detachable small boat. The included figures, including five troll warriors, a troll general, a knight, a dwarf, and a large troll, along with a strikingly armored dragon, make this set a true highlight.”
 
Excerpts from third-party reviews

About Castle Fantasy Era

Fantasy Era is the name fans gave to the Castle line of 2007 to 2009, when Castle came back with monsters. In 2007 the Crown Knights fought an army of skeletons led by an evil wizard, in sets such as 7094 King's Castle Siege and 7029 Skeleton Ship Attack. In 2008 the dwarves arrived, defending their mines against the trolls and their army, who came with war wagons, a battle wheel and a troll warship. The trolls were large new figures, and the line also brought new skeleton parts and helmets.

Fantasy Era consists of 21 sets that ran from 2007 to 2009. As of today, 7094 King's Castle Siege is the most valuable Fantasy Era set with an estimated new/sealed value of $900.
Summary
Castle Fantasy Era Troll Warship set 7048 was released on May 26, 2008, retailing for $80, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $647, while used sets sell around $229.
